Hansa W.12 models in 1/72nd?

Can anyone tell what models of the Hansa-B W.12 are currently available in 1/72nd scale?
I know there's a series of resin kits available (CMK? Choroszy?) - don't bother with them, they're far, far, FAR too expensive for me. Is there anything else?
TIA

Wings vac... http://www.donsmodelworks.com/list_wm.htm#72Air

Hansa-Brandenburg W.12 III - 1/72 - Wings Models
1/72 scale vacuform model of Ernst Heinkel's Hansa-Brandenburg W.12 III - an extremely strong float-equipped bi-plane German fighter of the WW I era. It had a max speed of 100 mph, a length of 28'-03", and a wingspan of 36'-09". Although the H-B W.12 III was very successful, only 146 were built - the design was further developed as the HB W.12 V (long fuselage version - our kit WM72049) and HB W.19 and HB W.29. This kit includes 29 cast metal detail parts (including Benz B2 engine), and has EXCELLENT decals with lozenge pattern for the upper wing and fuselage, markings for 2 German aces and 2 styles of German national insignia; it makes a kit about 5 inches long with a wingspan of about 7 inches. This is the ONLY kit available for the HB W.12 III in ANY scale. $19.95
& their other one...

A pair of Czech resin kits exist for both the long and short fuselage versions of the Hansa Brandenburg W.12. I have an original Czech casting from about 20 years ago. I don't know if these ever saw wider release.

Hello,

Czech Master Resin made a W.12/III and a W.12/V (short and long type). Both of them are currently available, but athey are a little pricey (more than 30$ for each kit).

Greetings

Edmond
